Quick Summary
In 2022, law enforcement in Adams County, Ohio raided the home of Joseph Foreman aka Afroman, the 51-year-old musician who had a huge novelty hit with the 2000 song "Because I Got High." The cops suspected him of drug possession and kidnapping, but they found no evidence in the raid, and no charges were filed. Afroman wasn't home during the raid, but his wife filmed it, and he used that footage, as well as security camera footage, while singing about the raid on viral songs like "Will You Help Me Repair My Door" and "Lemon Pound Cake." Soon afterward, some of those cops sued Afroman for defamation and using their images without permission, and the ACLU filed an amicus brief in Afroman's support. This week the case went to trial, and the video of Afroman's testimony is the kind of thing you might really want to see.
